It’s winter and it’s snowing in Oslo. Together with three comedians, Sigurd is  rehearsing a standup comedy show in an old theatre. Shortly before the third rehearsal, Minister of Public Health Ida Alseth goes missing in the forest. Alseth’s invisibility as a minister was supposed to be the core of Sigurd’s material, but now it is impossible to say anything about her.

At the same time Sigurd is moving out from his partner. Among his things he discovers a bag of old photos and papers. They belong to K, his girlfriend in high school. He starts thinking about her again, and things that he has worked hard to forget, come back to him. Slowly he starts seeing himself and his love for K in new ways, and his comedy show takes a new direction. But how far can you go in order to make people laugh? Where is the border between the lightness of contagious laughter and the dark depths of other people’s tragedy?
